West Palm Beach to Boynton Beach drive: Distance, time & sights

Finding the best things to do between West Palm Beach and Boynton Beach

The West Palm Beach to Boynton Beach drive connects two vacation hotspots on Florida’s Atlantic coast.

Notoriously wealthy West Palm Beach goes big on art. The Norton Museum of Art and Ann Norton Sculpture Gardens are the big hitters, but there are plenty of smaller galleries. Arguably the top attraction is in Palm Beach, however. Here, the Henry Morrison Flagler Museum marries Gilded Age grandeur with Florida history.

Bookable West Palm Beach experiences include snorkelling tours, sunset cruises and photoshoots on Worth Avenue. You can also try jet snorkelling, parasailing and food-tasting market tours.

For West Palm Beach accommodation with superb guest ratings, the Pioneer Inn is excellent value and the Ben brings five star opulence.

Boynton Beach has an interesting craft brewing scene. Check out Copperpoint and NOBO if you’re into your beers. Otherwise, the Schoolhouse Children’s Museum offers interactive learning for kids and Oceanfront Park is the best beach spot. It comes with lifeguards, picnic areas and a playground.

The Seacrest Scrub Natural Area provides a 54 acre haven of green space, with a paved walking trail lacing through it. You can spot gopher tortoises here.
